Welcome to The Jedi Academy Map Project! Recently, a thread was created on the JAK forums asking for our suggestions for a new map. Monty came up with the idea to give the map a University feel, and I ran with it! I've laid out a full site to reflect my ideas in the hopes they would be produced, and now theres a team working to do just that! Mapping Team: FaDed, Virtue Contact a member of the team if you think you can be of some assistance.  Please, give any suggestions you have on this thread! Don't forget to vote in the poll! http://www.angelfire.com/oh4/nofrikinfun/ This post was edited by NofrikinfuN on Dec 16 2003 07:45pm. |

I have a base model for each of the 'wings' with 3 rooms made so far. As far as that walls room idea, I have something similar to that made with pillars, though I can remake it with walls and see how it turns out. I am also going to incorporate Khaleka's 'maze' concept from Advent. Going good so far! _______________ I'm crazy, not stupid. |

I just thought of an idea for the third movement room, though I'm not sure how successfully it could be designed in 2D. Basically, I want to have a lot of walls suspended in the air, sometimes parallell to one another, so that people can practice the wall grab technique. Any thoughts on this idea? Im not incredibly sure how well this would work out. Also, I was thinking of adding a basement level to the facilities somehow... Probably adding a few personal instruction rooms. (The actual design of these rooms has yet to be determined... We may either make them all smaller "matrix" style rooms, or make them into a smaller, more simple version of a full training room. Personally, I like the idea of making them smaller reflections of a full room.) Also, I spoke to FaDed, and he seems to think that a preliminary version shouldn't take TOO long... Though it may be missing key areas, such as some of the outer courtyards, basement areas, and the Temple area. (Heck, even the facilities may be somewhat incomplete, but at least we would have a functional Academy map. Consider it a public beta!) Still, there are no time estimates on any release. Again guys, if you have ANY ideas at all, now is the time to mention them. The farther along we get, the harder it becomes to make additions or alterations. Either mention your ideas here, or contact me personally. (My contact info can be found on my profile.) Thanks for all the support guys! |

Basdid! I just posted my ow thing about this in another forum. Hm.. well, I can either share ideas with you or we can both make maps and see which one is better. Of coarse I might turn out to be too lazy to get my own done... eh, whatever. _______________ I must not fear . Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear . I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. Gom gom gom gom gom! |

I think you guys need some extra bandwith, I can never see the stuff you guys have got. I can dedicate some of mine from an unrelated site to it. mstier@adelphia.net if you're interested. |

www.angelfire.com/oh4/nofrikinfun I've added a new, more detailed map diagram to reflect where the previously shown rooms would lie in relation to the full map. I've also labelled unfinished or yet undesigned areas with ?'s. Hopefully this gives a more detailed view of the progress thus far. Also, feel free to chip in ideas for the interiors of the "?" rooms. Since they're not yet designed, we're more than willing to play around with them a bit. Finally, I would like to thank you all for your support! Having no Bad or Very Bad ratings (YET), brings warm feelings to my heart. lol |

but you also need to consider that repetitive texturing = YAWN... make sure every room doesn't look the exact same or else no one will want to be there because they'll get sick of it _______________ -Academy Leader/Dictator/Defeater of DJ Sith and JACen Solo in the JAK+ Tournament -I do think it (the JA) will help convert dozens, maybe hundreds, to the dork nation... --me |

Sounds fine...however... Us with slower computers (600 Mhz) tend to have difficulties entering rooms. The current Academy map just gives me a total lag spike when I enter the courtyard...So how about not over adorning those entrances? |
